DEVICE FOR PROTECTING THE ENDS AND CORNERS 0F ROLLS OF PAPER IN SHIPMENT.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 291,406, dated January 1, 1884.

-Application filed July 5, 1883. (No model.)

10 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HERBERT SANGER, a citizen of the United States, residing atFranklin, in the county of Merrimac and State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Protecting the Ends and Corners of Paper Rolls in Shipment; and I do hereby declare that the same are fully described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to devices for protecting the ends and corners of rolls of paper from injury in shipment; and it consists, primarily, in a circular disk or head covering the end of the roll in combination with a flanged binding-strip or corner-hoop formed of a series of connected segments applied to the periphery of the paper-roll and extending over its end, to engage with the disk or head.

It also consists in the further devices and devices set forth in the ap pended claims. The devices are duplicated on each roll-that is, are applied to both of its ends.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a roll of paper with my invention applied to it, and Fig. 2 is a detail of a suitable fastening device.

A is the paper roll, and B or head covering its end. T

O 0 represent metallic segments fitting against the exterior of the roll, and D a conthe circular disk tinuous band connecting them all, and provided with a suitable fastening device adj ustable to different-sized rolls. The lower binding-strip in Fig. 1 represents the band and segments as integral. The head B is preferably a plate of sheet metal, with a succession and having the adjacent metal struck up to receive and conceal the points of the segments 0, inserted through said slots as the device is applied to the roller. In practice I make, say, thirtyeight of these slots in a head of twenty-four inches diameter, each being one inch long and one andone-quarter inch from the edge; but this would depend on the number, size, and

shape of the segments, and would be varied according to circumstances. The segments 0 are forged, cast, or stamped, of the general form shown in the drawing, to fit the side and extend over the end of the roll A, and each is provided with a loop, 0, or other means of attachment to the band D. The loops 0, standing out from the body of the segment to receive the band D, are very convenient for the purpose, as the series of segments may be strung on a band of metal, leather, or webbing, their distance from each other varied, and the number increased or diminished, as required.

The drawings represent two forms of fastening for the bands D. In Fig. l the ends of the metal band are turned back, forming hooks that engage with'each other. Fig. 2 shows, on an enlarged scale, a plan which may be adopted. One end of the band carries a threaded bolt, which projects through a slot in the other end,- and is held at the desired point by a nut and washer. The bolt, nut, and washer are lettered E.

When the heads B are of metal, they will be papered to prevent any stain or rust from affecting the roll; or a disk of paper or straw board may be interposed. Asimilar disk may cover the entire end of the roll after the protectors are applied, or a paper envelope may inclose the whole. In such cases the slotting of the head B may be omitted.

I claim as my invention- 1. Thepaperrollproteetor herein described,

consisting of a circular disk or head, and a flanged binding-strip formed of a series of connected metallic segments adapted to fit the sides of the roll and extend over its end to engage with the .disk, for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination, with the roll A and slotted heads B b, of the series of segments 0 O and the band D, provided with suitable fastening devices, for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereto affix my sig nature in presence of two witnesses.

HERBERT SANGER.
